So why, absent milk, do bracycephalics outcompete the longheads? Well, they're better at everything: they conserve heat more easily, have a higher ratio of brain volume to surface area, and it's easier to for a small, spherical head to stay symmetrical and pretty than a long one.

In my first post on Polynesia I passed along what Houghton had noticed: that Polynesians should have long narrow heads but instead have a polar brachycephalic type instead. A perceptive commenter noted that North Europeans saliently defy this trend.

Skull type is not just a physical quality, it has an impact on national character as well.
